Auntie, Albert Einstein and the Pope are having a contest in front of the ashram: Who can sit longer on a bed of nails? The Pope secretly calls God's power and just hovers a little over the bed of nails. Albert Einstein calculates exactly how he has to place his body to not excert too much force on any body part. Auntie just sits down on the bed of nails, and wins in the end.
